Oh! Come to the Merciful Savior

Oh! come to the mer­ci­ful

Savior who calls you

Oh! come to the Lord

Who for­gives and for­gets;

Though dark be the for­tune

On earth that be­falls you

There’s a bright home ab­ove

Where the sun nev­er sets.

Oh! come then to Je­sus

Whose arms are ex­tend­ed

To fold His dear child­ren

In clos­est em­brace;

Oh! come

for your ex­ile

Will short­ly be end­ed

And Je­sus will show you

His beau­ti­ful face.

Yes

come to the Sav­ior

Whose mer­cy grows bright­er

The long­er you look at

The depth of His love;

And fear not! ’tis Je­sus!

And life’s cares grow light­er

As you think of the home

And the glo­ry ab­ove.

Have you sinned as none else

In the world have be­fore you?

Are you black­er than all

Other crea­tures in guilt?

Oh

fear not

and doubt not!

The mo­ther who bore you

Loves you less than the Sav­ior

Whose blood you have spilt!

Come

come to His feet

And lay op­en your sto­ry

Of suf­fer­ing and sor­row

Of guilt and of shame;

For the par­don of sin

Is the crown of His glo­ry

And the joy of our Lord

To be true to His name.
